July 12 – 13
In Friendship, playwright and director Katherine Dean Horton crafts a tender portrait of teenage friendship unfolding over one summer at a New England sleep-away camp. Through a tactile narrative that incorporates the act of making traditional friendship bracelets, the piece explores how relationships are formed, remembered, and left behind—with humor, heart, and emotional resonance for teens and adults alike.
